ATTACHMENT A

The securities (the "Securities") which are the subject of this filing
consist of 1,922,115 shares of common stock which may be acquired by
conversion of a Convertible Subordinated Note Agreement dated December 31,
1985, 5,755,071 shares of common stock which may be acquired by conversion of
517,129 shares of convertible preferred stock and an additional 988,188
shares of common stock which are presently owned by the Reporting Person.
The Securities are subject to the provisions of that certain Investment
son, by which Agreement the undersigned is prohibited from selling,
transferring or otherwise disposing of any interest in the Securities prior
to December 31, 1990 unless the Issuer consents in writing; provided,
however, the undersigned may transfer the Securities to any Subsidiary or
Affiliate, providing that said transferee shall agree in writing to be
subject to the terms of the Agreement and the undersigned shall remain
subject to the Agreement.  The above provisions of the Agreement shall
terminate if the Agreement terminates, which termination shall occur as of the
earliest of (a) the undersigned's beneficial
ownership of less than 5% of the Issuer's then-outstanding voting securities,
(b) the occurrence of a change of control of the Issuer, or (c) December 31,
1997.

The undersigned's voting power, dispositive power, and aggregate amount
beneficially owned is further subject to limitations set forth in the
December 27, 1985 letter to the undersigned from the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve Board.

The undersigned may only hold 5% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock at
any one time; however, the undersigned may convert any of that common stock
into the Issuer's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and thereby permit its
acquisition of additional common stock.
